David Warner on his way out from SRH
As the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season drew to a close, David Warner hinted on Instagram that he had played his final game for the franchise. Warner had been with SRH since 2014 and captained them to their only IPL title in 2016.
Warner scored over 500 runs every season before a poor patch of form in IPL 2021, which saw him stripped of the captaincy and then dropped from the playing XI. Each franchise has been given four retentions, but SRH are unlikely to hold on to Warner.
The mega-auction ahead of IPL 2022 will also see two new franchises from Lucknow and Ahmedabad.
Warner also seems to have found his form again, hitting two half-centuries in the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup. He also scored a crucial 30-ball 49 in the semi-final win against Pakistan as Australia chased down 177 with five wickets and one over to spare.
